- Spurs submit bid for Simons
- Determined to beat تشيلسي to sign the Dutchman
- Simons travelled to London to secure a transfer
وفق الرياضي Spurs have tabled an initial €60m bid to sign Simons from آر بي لايبزيغ before the summer transfer window closes next Monday. The initial transfer fee could rise to €70m with all the bonuses that have been included in the deal. No agreement has been reached yet, although صحيفة التلغراف claim the English and German sides are close to sealing the transfer.
Spurs are determined to secure a transfer for Simons after missing out on key targets like Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze, while star attacking midfielder James Maddison suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during pre-season. The north London club are also acting quickly to beat الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز rivals Chelsea to the Dutchman’s signing.

Chelsea are on the verge of sealing a transfer for Manchester متحد outcast Alejandro Garnacho, while they are also close to selling Christopher Nkunku to ميلان. It now remains to be seen if the Blues make a late push for Simons in an attempt to hijack Spurs’ move.
